Deteronòm 13
1 Si ta gen nan mitan nou yon pwofèt osinon yon moun ki konn fè vizyon, epi ki ta fè konnen kèk siy osinon kèk gwo bagay pral rive nan mitan nou,
If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 si sa li te anonse a rive vre epi li ta vin di nou: Ann al swiv lòt bondye nou poko konnen menm yo! Ann al fè sèvis pou yo!
and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”
3 nou pa fèt pou nou koute pawòl pwofèt sa a ap di, ni sa moun ki konn fè vizyon an ap vin rakonte nan zòrèy nou. Paske se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, k'ap sonde nou, l'ap chache konnen si vreman vre nou renmen Seyè a ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou.
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou swiv. Se li menm pou nou gen krentif. Se lòd li pou nou swiv. Se sa li di nou pou nou koute. Se li menm pou nou sèvi. Pa janm vire do ba li.
You shall walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 Kanta pou pwofèt sa a, osinon moun k'ap fè vizyon an, se pou nou touye yo. Paske y'ap ban nou konsèy pou nou kenbe tèt ak Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip epi ki te wete nou nan esklavaj nou te ye laba a. Se pou nou touye yo, paske y'ap chache fè nou kite chemen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mete devan nou pou nou te swiv la. Se konsa n'a wete bagay mal k'ap fèt nan mitan nou.
That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
6 Si yon frè nou, bò papa osinon bò manman, osinon yon pitit gason nou, osinon yonn nan pitit fi nou, osinon madanm k'ap viv nan menm kay avèk nou, osinon ankò yonn nan bon bon zanmi nou ta chache pran tèt nou an kachèt pou fè n' al sèvi lòt bondye, bondye ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen,
If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
7 yonn nan bondye lòt moun k'ap viv ansanm avèk nou sou latè, kit yo toupre nou, kit yo byen lwen nou,
of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth—
8 pa janm tonbe dakò avèk li. Pa koute sa l'ap di nou. Se pou nou san pitye pou li. Pa chache pwoteje li, pa chache kouvri anyen pou li.
you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him;
9 Okontrè, se pou nou touye l'. Premye moun ki pou leve men sou li pou touye l' ak koutwòch se va nou menm. Apre sa, n'a kite lòt moun vin ede nou touye l'.
but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.
10 N'a kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri, paske li te vle fè nou vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote nou te nan esklavaj la.
You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Lè sa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo va konn sa, y'a pè. Konsa, yo yonn p'ap janm fè yon bagay mal konsa ankò nan mitan pèp la.
All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.
12 Si nou vin tande y'ap di nan yonn nan lavil Seyè a ban nou pou nou rete yo,
If you hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, that
13 gen kèk moun, kèk vòryen, moun menm ras ak nou ki te pran tèt moun k'ap viv nan lavil sa a pou fè yo al sèvi lòt bondye nou pa janm konnen,
certain wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you have not known,
14 se pou nou chache konnen bagay la byen. N'a mennen ti ankèt nou, n'a poze keksyon adwat agoch. Si bri y'ap fè kouri a vre, si nou jwenn prèv yon bagay mal konsa te fèt vre,
then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among you,
15 se pou nou pran nepe nou, se pou nou touye dènye moun ki nan lavil sa a ansanm ak tout bèt yo. Se pou nou detwi lavil la nèt nan dife pou Bondye ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'.
you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
16 N'a ranmase tou sa moun yo te genyen nan lavil la, n'a anpile yo sou plas piblik la. N'a mete dife nan lavil la ak tou sa ki ladan l' pou yo sèvi yon ofrann pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou lavil la toujou rete yon pil mazi pou li pa janm rebati ankò.
You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to Yahweh your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17 Piga nou kenbe pou nou anyen nan bagay nou fèt pou boule pou Seyè a. Se konsa Seyè a va sispann fache sou nou, l'a gen pitye pou nou. Wi, l'a fè pa nou. L'a fè nou peple jan li te pwomèt sa bay zansèt nou yo.
Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy, and have compassion on you and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers,
18 Men, se pou nou toujou koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap di nou. Se pou nou toujou kenbe tout lòd m'ap ban nou jòdi a. Se pou nou toujou fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
when you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.
